Naomi Campbell (Skins character) → Naomi Campbell (Skins) – Relisted to reach consensus on a target. Consensus seems to be moving to Naomi Campbell (character). Vegaswikian (talk) 22:44, 28 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"Character" is not needed. The only reason to protest this move would be because of a Skins episode called "Naomi", which is not a strong argument. - Unreal7 (talk) 19:32, 20 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. It's really a matter of consistency, and the majority of articles in Category:Skins characters that require disambiguation use "(Skins character)". They should either all be moved or none should. Jenks24 (talk) 04:03, 21 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That is only the case for James Cook (Skins character). - Unreal7 (talk) 15:23, 23 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. The disambiguator should be a class or context, according WP:DAB. So this one should be Naomi Campbell (character). Kauffner (talk) 06:49, 21 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment, agree per Kauffner. Naomi Campbell has (at least) two meanings: the Skins context and the actual person context. The disambiguator is primarily important in distinguishing in the second context, rather than uniting in the first, and Naomi Campbell (character) would be appropriate.

In just about every other article the name of the show is used, not (character) i.e. Stan Smith (American Dad!), Dr. Nick (The Simpsons), Paul Robinson (Neighbours). I could go on for a while. Unreal7 (talk) 22:53, 28 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thought about it for a bit, and I support Naomi Campbell (Skins) as that does seem to be the common practice for fictional TV characters. Just using "(character)" seems to go against common practice and I think the searcher would find "(Skins)" a more useful disambiguation. Jenks24 (talk) 08:36, 29 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

James Cook (Skins character) has now been moved to James Cook (Skins), so this is now the only article (apart from Sketch (Skins character), which needs "character" because her surname has never been revealed) which has "character". Just make a decision already. - Unreal7 (talk) 21:13, 12 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
